Psalms 18
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love you, O Lord, my strength.
Kak thaawmnaak na ak awm, Aw Bawipa, nang ce ni lungna nyng.
2 The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
Bawipa taw ka lungnu, ka vawngcak ingkaw ka hulkung na awm hy: Khawsa taw kang thuknaak lungnu na awm hy. Amah taw ka phuhqa ingkaw ka hulnaak kii, vawngcak boeih na awm hy.
3 I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
Kyihcah tyng Bawipa ce khy nyng saw, anih ing ka qaalkhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul hy.
4 The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
Thihnaak quikhqi ing ni pin nawh seetnaak tuiphu ing ni zawl khup hy.
Ceikhui quikhqi ing ni pin qap nawh; thihnaak dawng ing ni mam khoep hy. (Sheol h7585)
6 And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into his ears.
Kang ngaih a kyi awh Bawipa ce khy nyng; bawmnaak thoeh doena Khawsa venawh khy nyng. Anih ingtaw a bawkim awhkawng kak awi ning zaak pe nawh; kak khy awi ing a haiawh pha saw, ang haa khuiawh kun hy.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
Khawmdek ing tyn nawh thyn hy, ak kawsonaak awh tlangkhqi awm am cei dyna tyn boeih hy.
8 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
Am haqawng khui awhkawng maikhu cawn nawh; mai kqawng ce am khak khui awhkawng cawn hy; cawhkawng mai ce alh hy.
9 And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
Myi ak than tit tit ce a khawk kai awh ta nawh; khan khawnghi ce hawi nawh kqum law hy.
10 And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
Chequbim ak khanawh ngawi nawh ang ding doena; zilh ang hla awhkawng hak pawm qu hy.
11 And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
A sing qunaak na than sai nawh, a ceng a cawi awh ak chung qunaak aham khan rawhnu pui tlan sak hy.
12 At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Ak vang soeih haai awhkawng myi ak sah soeih ingkaw khawkphla ce thai sak hy.
13 The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
Khan nakawng Bawipa hum khawmrang nawh; sawsang soeih awh ak awi hum dur dur hy.
14 And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
La ing kap nawh a qaalkhqi ce a thek a zak na kqeng sak khqi khawnghak nawh, khaw khawteh na phla sak tiksaw hquut khqi khawnghak hy.
15 And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your wrath.
Aw Bawipa tuicunli ang lawngnaak ce sai pe nawh, khawmdek ang dyihnaak hun ce nam haqawng awhkaw nang hqi ing zyi nawh kaa na tiksaw, pho sak hyk ti.
16 He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
Anih ing khan ben nakawng a baan thla nawh; a nimtu coengawh tuili dung awhkawng nik dawk hy.
17 He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
Tha ak awm soeih qaal, am ka noeng thai khing ka thunkha khqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hy.
18 They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
Ka seetnaak khawnghyp awh ni mam khoep u seiawm, Bawipa taw tha anik pekung na awm hy.
19 And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
Anih ing a hoel a poeng na awmnaak hun na ni ceh pyi hy; kak khanawh ak kaw a law a dawngawh ni hul hy.
20 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
Bawipa ing ka dyngnaak lawt amyihna khaw nik poek pehy; ka kut qawi a ciim lawt amyihna laksawng ce ni pehy.
21 For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Bawipa a lampyi ce ka hquut a dawngawh Khawsa cehta nawh thawlhnaak ce am sai nyng.
22 For all his judgements were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
Amah a cawngpyinaak awikhqi boeih ce ka haiawh awm nawh; ak awi tlypnaak ce am pleng taak man nyng.
23 And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
A haiawh coet kap kaana awm nawh, thawlhnaak ce hqe nyng.
24 And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Ka dyngnaak ingkaw amik huh awh ka kut qawi a ciim amyihna Bawipa ing laksawng ni pehy.
25 With the holy you will be holy; and with the innocent man you will be innocent.
Ueppawm thlang venawh ypawm na dang pe tiksaw, coet amak kap thlang venawh coet a kap kaana dang pe hyk ti.
26 And with the excellent [man] you will be excellent; and with the perverse you will show frowardness.
Ak zawziih thlang venawh ak zawziih na dang pe nawh, kawpoek ak kawi thlang venawh taw cyihnaak ce dang sak hyk ti.
27 For you will save the lowly people, and will humble the eyes of the proud.
Dungvoeng na ak awmkhqi ce hul nawh ak thym na mik ak daikhqi ce ak nem na thla hyk ti.
28 For you, O Lord, will light my lamp: my God, you will lighten my darkness.
Aw Bawipa, nang ing ka mai-im ve vang law sak loet nawh; ka Khawsa ing thannaak ce vangnaak na coeng law sak hyk ti.
29 For by you shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.
Nang ak pyinaak ak caming ni ka qaal hquut nawh, ka Khawsa ing ni vawng ka lyn thai.
30 [As for] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
Khawsa lampyi taw soep nawh Bawipa awi taw caih soeih hy. Amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih aham anih taw phuhqa na awm pehy.
31 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
Bawipa coengawh u Khawsa nu ak awm bai? Ningmih a Khawsa am kaa taw u mih lungnu nu ak awm bai?
32 [It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
Khawsa ing a bantha awm sak nawh ka lampyi soep sak hy.
33 who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon high places.
Ka khaw ce saksuk khaw amyihna ni sai pe nawh hun sang na ning dyih sak hy.
34 He instructs my hands for war: and you have made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
Ka kutqawi ve qaal kahnaak ham ni cawng sak nawh, ka baan qawi ing qawhum la ce oi thai hy.
35 And you have made me secure in my salvation: and your right hand has helped me, and your correction has upheld me to the end; yes, your correction itself shall instruct me.
Noengnaak phuhqa ce nang ing ni pe nawh, nak tang kut ing nim tu hyk ti; dungvoeng na na awmnaak ing kai ni sang sak hyk ti.
36 You has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
Ka khawk kai awhkaw lampyi ce kau law sak tiksaw, ka khaw am pleng thai voel hy.
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
Ka qaalkhqi ce hquut nawh khai khqi nyng, ama ming qeng hlan dy taw am hlat kawng.
38 I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
A mami thawh hqa kaana chawm khqi nyng, ka khawk kai na tlu boeih uhy.
39 For you have girded me with strength for war: you have beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
Qaal tuk aham thamahnaak ing ni thoeihcam nawh, ka qaalkhqi ce ka khawk kai na koep sak hyk ti.
40 And you has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and you have destroyed them that hated me.
Nang ing ka qaalkhqi hu benna cen sak khqi hyk ti, cawh kai ing him khqi pheng nyng.
41 They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he listened not to them.
Khy laawt hlai uhy, cehlai a mingmih ak hul hly kawi pynoet awm am awm hy - Bawipa ing cekkhqi ak khynaak awi ce am hlat pehy.
42 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
Zilh ing a zawn dekvai amyihna vyk khqi nyng saw, lam awhkaw nawngtui amyihna hawk khqi nyng.
43 Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: you shall make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
Kai anik tukkungkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul nawh; pilnam a lu na ni sai hawh hyk ti.
44 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
Kai a thang aming zaak awh, kak awi ngai unawh; qapchang thlangkhqi ing ka haiawh pe qu law uhy.
45 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
Amik kaw boet nawh; a mimah a vawng kulh khui nakawng thyn doena law uhy.
46 The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Bawipa taw hqing hy; ka lungnu venawh kyihcahnaak awm seh nyng! Ka hulkung Khawsa taw zoeksang na awm seh!
47 [It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;
Anih taw kai aham kut anik thung peekkung Khawsa na awm nawh, pilnam thlang anik noeng sakkung na awm hy.
48 my deliverer from angry enemies: you shall set me on high above them that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the unrighteous man.
Ka qaalkhqi ven awhkawng anik hulkung na awm hy. Nang ing ka qaalkhqik khanawh ni zoeksang nawh, khawboek chekhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hyk ti.
49 Therefore will I confess to you, O Lord, amongst the Gentiles, and sing to your name.
Cedawngawh aw Bawipa, nang ce pilnam thlangkhqing lak awh nim kyihcah vang; nang ming kyihcahnaak laa sa vang.
50 [God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
Anih ing a sangpahqang venawh noengnaak ak bau soeih pe nawh; a caksak thlang venawh amak dyt thai qeennaak ce dang sak hy. David ingkaw a cadil naakhqi venawh kumqui dyna am qeennaak dang sak hy.
